Edward Duncan Ernest Gould (28 October 1988 – 25 March 2012) was a British animator, artist, writer, director, and voice actor. He was best known for creating Eddsworld, a media franchise consisting of Flash animations and webcomics featuring fictionalised versions of himself and longtime collaborators Thomas Ridgewell, Matt Hargreaves and others. After Gould's death in 2012, production of Eddsworld was passed on to Ridgewell and later Hargreaves.
In 2002, Gould began animating using a GIF animation program to publish on Stick Figure Death Theatre. Upon discovering the website no longer accepted GIFs, Gould moved to Macromedia Flash in November 2002. After seven months of learning the basics of Flash animation from his mentor Lavalle Lee, Gould published his first Newgrounds entry on 6 June 2003.
Gould soon began his career in animation and studied as an independent animator at the University for the Creative Arts, Maidstone, England. Gould later joined Cake Bomb, a creative media group founded by Ridgewell. He also voiced the "I Like Trains" kid in TomSka's asdfmovie series on YouTube and animated the second episode of asdfmovie.
